The right way to handle this would have been to copy just the relevant code fragment to a package or classfile of your own and modify it. The code would have looked a lot hackier than corresponding Context code, but as long as it sits neatly tucked away in a package of its own, you wouldn't have to let that bother you.
Ah, but I have only simplest experience in TeX programming (simple, non-recursive \defs and \lets are my greatest achievment) and what you are suggesting is still out of my reach.. 1. I know very little of plain TeX and LaTeX internals to be able to do anything significant programming for latex. 2. I don't like asking for help. Partly because I don't want to bother people, partly because I'm impatient waiting for an answer. When I ask for help, I'm really desperate. Context has enabled me to do typesetting the way I want without too much 'expert' advice and customization.. I had a few questions on Context a few years ago when reference manuals were non-existant.. But now I'm able to do everything I want on my own. Still with virtually no 'real' TeX programming.
